Enum InputDeviceType

Classifies a physical input device by its primary interaction modality.

Namespace: Scylla.Input

Assembly: ScyllaInput.dll

Syntax

public enum InputDeviceType

Remarks

This enum is used throughout the input module to tag connected devices, associate them with ControlScheme instances, and route queries in per-type bridge configurations (see PerInputType).

Keyboard and Mouse are both associated with the KeyboardMouse scheme by default. Gamepad and Joystick are associated with Gamepad. Touchscreen is associated with Touch.

The GetDeviceType(InputDevice) method maps Unity Input System InputDevice instances to these values. Device events such as InputDeviceConnectedEvent and InputDeviceChangedEvent carry the resolved type alongside the Unity device reference.
